Final Fight (Sega Genesis vs SNES) Gameplay Comparison

A side-by-side comparison of the game Final Fight between Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) and SNES (Super Famicom).

[@brichan1851]

Granted they have had an extra 30 years to maximize the power of the Genesis/Mega Drive, but this is beyond impressive! Final Fight was one given to me the Christmas I got my SNES, along with F-Zero. I had my hands full with awesome new games and a new machine to play them on. I loved Final Fight, but had no idea what a downgrade the SNES version was from its arcade counterpart. The Genesis/Mega Drive version is damn near a carbon copy, from what I can tell. Honestly, it’s a good thing this never came out way back when, because we never would have gotten Streets of Rage if it had. Mad love for this awesome version of this awesome game!❤❤❤❤

[@net_news]

playing Final Fight at home in '91 was impressive... MIND BLOWING.

[@OtomoTenzi]

Streets of Rage was a SEGA 1st-party game, so it would've still happened regardless... The extra competition on the same console would only mean that we would be getting even more and higher quality beat 'em up games to choose from. So, no BIG loss at all!

[@jonmartinez7504]

This is a Sega CD release

[@RyuHayabusa06]

The Sega Final Fight homebrew is very impressive, no doubt. However, it is an unfair comparison considering the SFC port was on a small 8 megabit cart done very early in the SFC lifespan under a strict deadline since it was among the first games released. Even the missing bar patrons in stage 3 somehow got past quality control. This Sega port has the luxury of a much larger ROM size, decades of experience and documentation of the hardware and no pressure from corporate bosses wanting to meet a release date. Having said that, the MD does have the advantage of the 320x224 resolution mode and seems to handle more large sprites on screen although this port does show some pretty severe slowdown and sprite flicker at times.

[@kamranki]

I agree and disagree. The slight extra resolution of MD makes no difference to sprite size and most MD / SNES games used identical sprites for this reason. Arcades did have even higher resolution, more processing grunt and loads of ROM space to allow for larger sprites.

[@greensun1334]

Well, Final Fight was one of the first SNES games after the launch titles. A new attempt with a ROMsize of 32megs, three playable characters, 2 player mode and all stages included would be very interesting!

[@zsiles]

Megadrive had Golden Axe in 1989

[@RyuHayabusa06]

@@zsiles Yeah, and it was a butchered port when compared side by side with the arcade. The recent Golden Axe homebrew shows what could've been done with more time, ROM size and knowledge of the hardware, just like this Final Fight homebrew.

[@zsiles]

@@RyuHayabusa06 maybe was not perfect but 2 players, 4 enemies on screen (with dragoons in some stages), more stages than arcade, no complaints at all.

[@joshoshea3194]

Ok I just want to compliment you on your editing skills. Clearly a lot of work has gone into this video. I'm literally only 1 minute in and it's already the best side by side comparison I've ever seen. No disrespect but I'm not sure if I've ever seen your channel before but I love content like this so I hope there's more after this 😀👌. Megadrive v SNES are usually the most popular but I'm always keen to see side by sides of the NES v Master System simply because like most people I guess I've always been more of a Nintendo fan but in recent years looking back now, it's hard to ignore just how fantastic Sega's 8-Bit colour palette was so it would be nice to see comparisons of games released on both systems, visually along with performance. Videos like this.... it's the only way to be sure 😉

Concordo...a do snes saiu em 1991 contra essa demo de 2024 (+32 anos), e as pressas pq Final Fight ainda estava bombando no arcade...foi apenas single player...faltando 1 personagem (guy) que depois foi implementado, mas substituindo cody em final fight guy...retiraram uma fase completamente (industrial area) que era marcante pelo Rolento que era um saco matar quando corria pra la e pra ca, poderia ter sido muito melhor mesmo na época e vemos isso na versão do GBA que é baseada nessa versão do snes. Mas cara...vou te falar, matei muita aula pra jogar isso por hora na locadora viu kkkkk. Essa versão nova do megadrive é um trabalho absurdamente competente inclusive nos detalhes que ficam acima do excelente port do sega cd (que eu adoro), ta sendo feito com excelencia e nos detalhes de fã real do game de arcade, nem tem o que falar, só aplaudir...quando estiver completo vou jogar muitas e muitas vezes com certeza, mas é por isso que não tiro o mérito de nenhuma das versões..do snes me divertiu demais na época e até hoje tb com gosto de nostalgia..e essa do meu amado Mega Drive vai me divertir muito mais de 30 anos depois tb! Ah aliás...tem um hack de snes que da pra jogar com os 3 e de 2 players ..só não tem a fase do rolento...

Hmm...Interesting. I'm intrigued by the Final Fight MD's F1 Power Mode in the options menu. Several options available: 60 FPS- 4 Enemies Standard Game (Gameplay Footage) 30 FPS- 6 Enemies Extended Game For Standard Console 60 FPS- 6 Enemies Extended Game For Overclocked CPU I guess that makes sense with the first option. Not a expert or anything but its shown at points. Haggar and Guy move about smoothly and so does the stage elements. But when chaotic situations like around 12:07 with Haggar, Guy, 4 enemies, and stage props everything slows down.

[@lazarushernandez5827]

The Genesis version is on top here. Of course it benefits from the programming knowledge of the last 30+ years. It still has slowdown and flicker present when too many sprites are being used on screen, but it is presenting a 2 player game with more detailed levels, more enemies on screen and full transitions between stages. The Snes version was impressive at the time, but had to cut plenty of things when it was released; one of the characters, 2 player simultaneous, background detail, and complete stages and enemies where dropped. Sequels on the Snes did have 2 player gameplay, I wonder if a version closer to the arcade original could also be produced on the Snes now?

[@SomeOrangeCat]

It reminds me of how people were crapping all over the SNES version of Wolfenstein 3-D vs the Genesis homebrew. The SNES port had two HUGE disadvantages kneecapping it: Nintendo censorship and the publisher demanding the game be ready in less than ONE month.

Lets try this again...my last comment sucked and was deleted. Anyway they keep improving on the Final Fight MD Demo. 1. Orange and blue text on a black screen on the option screen is much easier read than the SNES blue on blue screen. 2. Speaking of options being able to switch out the FPS and enemies is a nice touch. 3. Two player mode was a cool feature for the Mega Drive Demo. However there were moments of slowdown throughout the playthrough. Can't have everything but room for improvement. 4. With the controller visualization I find the disk D-pad and button layout better on the Mega Drive version. It just works here. ❗❗(We really need the whole English Alphabet Sega-fied.

Belíssimo trabalho de fãs para fãs! Mas, ainda pesa o fato do Sega Mega Drive não ter recebido um port "oficial" na época. O port de Sega-CD era muito caro por conta do preço do dispositivo, e o port de Super Nintendo tinha cortes incômodos demais.

[@allbundy432]

Simply by the fact that the MD version has a 2-player option, it completely sweeps away the SNES version. If we also add that it has larger characters, with many more animations, no stupid black bars, ideal resolution, more game options, no censorship and a color and sound very similar to the arcade version, the decision is clear. And we're seeing a beta version on MD! There are still many things to add and improve! But realistically, if you want to play a version of Final Fight on a home console today, the MD versions are undoubtedly the right choices.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

You can get the actual arcade version for all modern systems. Why bother with a homebrew version for a decade's old console at all?

[@WeskerSega]

@@SomeOrangeCat Because, unlike you, there's a lot of people in the world who actually care and love this console still in this day. That's why it has so much more homebrew scene than, say, the SNES.

[@MrZillas]

@SomeOrangeCat - Because people like to put a case into the shelf with a colorful instruction-manual, instead of having a soulless download. And using a Mega Drive is easier than having a computer and getting 2 controllers into the USB-ports and modify them.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

@@WeskerSega Nah, it has a bigger homebrew scene, because Sega brats still have a chip on their shoulder.

As cut down as the SNES port was, it was well received and sold enough copies to warrant two console-exclusive sequels.

[@MattyIcecubes]

Even though they omitted my favorite character (Guy) I still loved FF on SNES; but I didn't realize just how different they truly were until many years later. One of the reasons they're different is that FF arcade is a standalone game, as is FF CD on Sega; while FF SNES is the first game of a trilogy.

[@dinnerfor1540]

Well, I think a lot of people would disagree that they are "dead" consoles. I personally have a Sega Genesis model 1, 32x add on, and about 40 original games for both the Genesis and 32x. I had gifted this to my niece way back in the day and this past Christmas she gifted them back. I gave them to her when she was about 10 (she's now 32) and now that I got them from her, I'm playing them at the ripe age of 52! And guess what, still works. No red ring of death, no yellow light of death, no disc stuck in the drive, no hard drive failing. Just enjoyable games that transcend generations. Food for thought...

[@OtomoTenzi]

@@dinnerfor1540To be honest and fair, the Saturn also lasts pretty long too... I had a friend back in high school who bought a pre-owned Saturn, and he got at least a good 8-10 solid years of use out of it. He palyed it EVERYDAY until he moved onto the Dreamcast and other newer consoles. It still works OK even today, as a matter of fact. He simply just outgrew videogames and doesn't have the time to play anymore. The same can't be said about the PS1 tho!

[@vinisasso]

The Genesis one blows the SNES version out of the water despite its obvious limitation in color palette. However, it's being developed without the limitations that developers faced back in the 1990's. They were strict to their SDKs and whatever they could pull off with tight timelines and limited budget and resources, and cart space constraints (which affected the cost of the end product). Also it was not of their interest to make home versions that could compete directly with their own arcade version. So, while it's true that Capcom gave lots of attention to their SNES conversions, they always made watered-down versions for the home consoles and it was up to their developers to exploit the strenghts of each console. In the end I'm happy to see how powerful the Genesis could be if given enough resources, but a homebrew for the Super Nes in 2024 could potentially be a lot better than the original as well, exactly because developers today have so many more resources.

[@iwanttocomplain]

There is a 2 player SNES Final Fight iir, that was made only about a year ago.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

This is the same Capcom that made Alpha 3 for Saturn far better than the arcade original. Anyone pretending the SNES version was going to compete with the arcade at launch has no idea what the SlowROM downclocking was, much less the hardware issues.

[@OldSchoolRetroGamingFan]

A few things just to keep in mind: 1. The SNES version was an exclusive launch title for the system. The stock Genesis never got the game back at that time. 2. The SNES version was made literally over three decades ago. The Genesis version is still not finished as of June 2024. 3. The SNES game runs in SlowROM, so it's only running at 70% of the system's full CPU speed. 4. By comparison, Maxwel has optimized SNES Final Fight 3 to run at 60fps without slowdown with two players, and he even reduced the game's forced blank a little further while he was at it too. 5. The SNES version of Final Fight came on an 8 Mb cartridge. I've heard the Genesis version is 32 Mb. 6. The stock Genesis version can currently have four enemies on-screen at 60fps, but to have six it runs at 30fps or can be overclocked to have six at 60fps. 7. Maxwell showed an example of Final Fight 2 with six enemies on-screen, but there's just far too much flicker for more than four to look acceptable there. Now, with that in mind, I can comfortably say the Genesis version is the better of the two as they both currently exist.

It was a very powerful machine for its time. For some reason Sega wanted backwards compatibility with the Master System and that is the reason for the small color palette. Otherwise it could have had thousands of colors. Also, for cost reasons, Sega couldn't include scaling. 2 years later it was cheap enough for Nintendo to put in their SNES. Also, the sound chip was custom for the SNES and was way better than the Genesis. But I don't think people realize that the SNES was 2 years newer and back then, computing power grew exponentially. But even with that, the CPU in the Genesis was far superior to that of the SNES.

We have to take that into account when we compare versions. Playing Final Fight in '91 was totally different than playing it in '93 or '94 when Doom, 3DO, Jaguar and the Playstation were on the street... Final Fight in '93 was retro!! In '93 we were playing Doom. That's why I laugh when Sega fans talk about how superior was FF CD... yeah it was superior but It was launched almost 3 years later than FF SNES!!

This looks more like the arcade port than the SNES with more destructible objects in the levels. Keep in mind Final Fight was a rather simple game. One thing to notice is how green the colors look on the Megadrive and the SNES version looks way more colorful. I think the main reason for the color difference is not so much the onscreen colors (which are only 64 in the Megadrive) but the fact that each color in CGRAM is only 9bit RGB given it a range of 3 bits per color channel for a total of 512 color to chose from compared to the 65K on the SNES

The MegaDrive one is the one made in 22024 but looking at Poison on the snes you'd think that was the 2024 version.

[@Watila_Alves]

Certa vez fiz uma combinação de 3 mods no final fight guy. O primeiro foi um mod para diminuir algumas diferenças com o arcade, a segunda foi fast rom, que diminuia os lags e por último um mod de multiplayer, que apesar de não ser perfeito, diverte. Acho que valeria a pena essa comparação com o de Mega.

Cool video. A shame Capcom got lazy with the Snes port. For Final Fight 1 this game the genesis was the better version however the snes did do good enough to get 2 exclusive sequels very underrated. I'd even argue FF3 was better than this game because you could do 2 player and or ai auto assist and the gameplay was better.

[@XaviDJ]

Megadrive wins y punto, nada que objetar. 30 años después por un grupo fan, oficialmente es inegable que la consola no fue exprimida, la paleta de colores era solvente, su CPU se podía hacer overclocking y el sonido bien utilizado daba perfectamente para el estandar de la época con un sonido limpio, sintético y de calidad. El monopolio de Super Nintendo consiguió eclipsar la consola con port reguleros y sólo podras ver lo buena consola que era con sus juegos exclusivos Shinobi 3, Comix Zone, Gunstar Heroes, Sonic 2 y 3, Batman & Robin, Robocop vs Terminator o Contra Hard Cop son algunos de ellos e indicaban que la consola podía abordar juegos de la talla de Super Nintendo sin problema. Dos auténticas consolas titánicas en la mejor generación de todos los tiempos. Grandes 16 bit!!!.

[@douglasfernandes9969]

It's a shame they didn't release this version for Genesis at that time because it would have wiped out the SNES version for sure.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

This version wouldn't have existed. The Genesis would have gotten the same game that SNES did, but perhaps with even more cutbacks, as Capcom had no faith in the Genesis.

[@OtomoTenzi]

Licensing issues, bro...

[@Shyning77]

@@SomeOrangeCat True. Capcom sure would have went with a rather lazy port, as rushed as the SNES one. Maybe they could have kept all three playable characters and 2-player coop though, with less slowdown than in the SNES version, but the cartridge size would still have been an issue, as a 32 Mb cartridge would have been way too expensive back then.

As duas versões são boas mas jogar final fight no MD é nostalgia pura. Não tive está oportunidade na década de 90... A versão do MD parece mais fiel ao Arcade.

[@turbinegraphics16]

The slowdown that happens in the genesis with the barrels shouldn't really need to happen, sprites that are not moving don't take any cpu time or DMA time if they're not being animated so it should be possible to fix it. Proof is if you pause the cpu the sprites still stay on the screen.

[@OtomoTenzi]

I just wonder how it's gonna handle things, when the game starts throwin' like 8 to 10 enemies at you all at the same time in the later levels... Even the arcade version's CPS1 hardware suffered some VERY apparent and noticeable slowdowns whenever that shit happens! Plus with 2 players on the screen, you would be having like 10 or 12 moving sprites on the screen. Do you think that would even be technically possible on the Genesis? 😲

[@wongyc5585]

Sega Genesis was better with 2 player mode and more screen enemies,but the slow down was horrible. Should have equal demonstration with 1 player mode

@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 Its when VC Decide tried to make it look like the SNES version of Street Fighter 2 had choppy animation, by doing a comparison of Chun-Li's kicks. Now anyone who's played the game can tell you that the weaker attacks appear faster, because they use fewer animation frames. But she was trying to pass off the weakest kick on the SNES as the strongest, when confronted about it, she tried to claim it was an honest mistake.

Era uma vadiagem esperta dos desenvolvedores da capcom, eles só não deixaram a versão de snes assim como não fizeram pra mega drive talvez pelo motivo de que se você quisesse jogar a versão completa e melhorada, teria que ser só no arcade, obviamente não ficaria no mesmo nível mas seria parecido e sendo assim isso seria um problema pra eles já que eles visavam lucros reais nos arcades e não nos consoles caseiros

A versão do SFC tinha que estar pronta no lançamento do console. A Capcom fez o que deu. Final Fight 2 e 3 provam que a versão de FF1 seria muito melhor se a Capcom tivesse tido mais tempo para trabalhar nela. Fora a questão de ainda estarem aprendendo a trabalhar num hardware até então novo na época.

[@JonBR-622]

O do Mega só tem 3 fases e já 28 megabits, o jogo inteiro do Snes tem apenas 8 megabits, ou seja, a versão do Mega tem mais que o triplo de memória do que a versão do Snes, além de ter sido feito com a tecnologia atual e sem limite de memória no cartucho. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk E o povo quer comparar. 😅

[@leandrocerencio]

@@JonBR-622Claro que é menor, a resolução da maioria dos jogos do SNES é 256x244. A resolução do Megadrive em contrapartida era 320x224. É por isso que vários jogos do Mega era maior que o mesmo do SNES. Cenários maiores, sprites maiores. É por isso tbm, que a maioria das sprites do SNES eram achatadas. Veja como o Haggar é distorcido no SNES. E honestamente não é viável descomprimir em realtime. Apesar que quantos loading screen eu já vi em jogos do SNES. 🤣
